Mesoscale Characteristics of Monsoonal Convection and Associated Stratiform Precipitation
Monthly Weather Review, 1993Observations undertaken on 12 January 1990 at Darwin (Australia) are used to document the structure of a monsoonal rainband in a low convective available potential energy low-shear tropical environment. Dual-Doppler radar analyses are employed to investigate the structure and kinematics of the convective and stratiform regions.

Investigating mesoscale eddy characteristics in the Luzon Strait region using altimetry
Ocean Dynamics, 2021The circulation in the northern South China Sea (SCS) strongly responds to anticyclonic eddies that shed from the Kuroshio intruding across Luzon Strait. An eddy tracking algorithm was applied to 26 years of altimetry data to better quantify the surface characteristics of eddies in and near the Luzon Strait with an emphasis on eddies with significant ...

Characteristics of Mesoscale Precipitation Bands in Southern Finland
Monthly Weather Review, 1989Abstract A large amount of observational material, consisting of more than 3000 hours of radar measurements from about 1 50 cyclones has been analyzed to discover the characteristic features of banded structures in extratropical cyclones in southern Finland. All previously classified types of rain- and snowbands have been observed.

Impact of surface characteristics on flow over a mesoscale mountain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2014Dynamical downscaling of atmospheric flow over Iceland has revealed that prominent downslope accelerated flows are not merely extreme events, but rather constitute a strong climatological signal over the larger ice caps. Ice caps are characterised by smooth and cold surfaces and both of these properties have previously been found to enhance downslope ...

Mesoscale characteristics of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South Pacific
Acta Oceanologica Sinica, 2015The Argo float observations are used to investigate the mesoscale characteristics of the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the South Pacific in this paper. It is shown that a subsurface mesoscale phenomenon is probably touched by an Argo float during the float’s ascent-descent cycles and is identified by the horizontal salinity gradient between ...

Thermodynamic and Circulation Characteristics, of Winter Monsoon Tropical Mesoscale Convection
Monthly Weather Review, 1982Abstract During the December 1978 field phase of the International Winter Monsoon Experiment (Winter MONEX), a regular diurnal cycle of deep convective activity occurred over the South China Sea immediately to the north of Borneo. The convection was initiated during the late night hours by convergence of the low-level northeast monsoon flow with the ...

Modeling C–V characteristics of deep sub-0.1 micron mesoscale MOS devices
Solid-State Electronics, 2004Modelling of mesoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) with gate size of the order of a few tens of nanometers is made difficult by two major effects, one is charge confinement near the Si/SiO/sub 2/ interfaces, other one is fringe field at the edges of the devices. We use the TCAD simulations to calibrate the VQM model. This model shows

Characteristics of surface temperature structure and subsurface mesoscale features
Remote Sensing of Environment, 1980Abstract Preliminary results of near-synoptic surveys of midocean thermal variability in the upper layers indicate that the near-surface water temperature is at times a poor indicator of spatial variability in the thermocline structure. Data which were obtained in one mid-North Atlantic survey and which exhibit prominent mesoscale features are ...

AbstractAn automated method for mesoscale convective system (MCS) identification and tracking (described in part I) is applied in order to derive a sound European MCS database using Meteosat infrared channel (IR10.8) images centred over Europe, the western Mediterranean and north Africa.

Atmospheric Research, 2010
Numerical prediction experiments using a high resolution mesoscale model NCAR MM5 were performed to simulate an unusual extreme precipitation event that occurred over west coast region of India on 26 July 2005. During this event, unprecedented precipitation of 90–100 cm was recorded over northeast parts of Mumbai City, India causing enormous losses ...
